>Absolutely infuriating. Is Obama totally distracted by escalating Afghanistan and the world climate change summit and his staff have got the whole debate backwards?!

I mean it's mind-boggling that they'd prod Lieberman towards further killing the most important legislation of a generation.

There's also a fundamental flaw here with the way the Senate works that this one person or a handful of peole end up with all of the power. Majority rule: we only need 51 votes for anything there but these few can hold up an kill such important progress.

The combined bill with the House better include a real public option (no triggers, maybe opt-out by state). Although no matte what now the most essential element for controlling cost is out of both: there won't be a govenment body setting the rates for health care services.

Like this:

“Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly, all of ’em, they are like a cancer spreading ignorance and hate…They’ve convinced folks that immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or a broken health care system…”

Bill O’Reilly:

“Dick Wolf is a coward for putting that out there, he is also a liar…”

Yes, making your point on one of the most-watched television shows in the country is cowardly, it takes no courage to do that.
